Import Tips

• Conduct pre-shipment thread count analysis (warp/filling per cm) to confirm compliance; use certified labs for decitex verification

• Label bolts with HTS-specific details and include commercial invoices stating 'suitable for typewriter/machine ribbon' to expedite entry

• Avoid misdeclaration as general nylon fabric (5407.41.00.40); precise specs prevent duty refunds or penalties
